Clear Sound, Clear Looks

I bought these based on other reviews on youtube and various websites and am glad I bought a PreSonus eris e5 xt but they buzzed and hissed horribly so I needed something along fewer problems. That sounds good. I wanted a studio monitor but after a lot of research settled on the YU6 and Sub6. They look good but I'm more worried about the sound so I'll talk about that in the review. In the For the first hour of playing the YU6 there was a little distortion in the high frequencies, even with…

There were hum issues and a bad woofer, Canto replaced a new pair and they work much better.

Bought to replace Logitech Z623. The speakers don't seem to have a proper filter as they hum when plugged into the same circuit as my computer (the Z623 and even my old regular $40 speakers avoid this problem).

Pros
  • SIGNAL DETECTION - The YU6 features an automatic sleep and power-on mode to help you save energy when you're away and ensure you don't miss a beat when the music starts playing.
Cons
  • I have doubts

Previously I used an older and fairly inexpensive Logitech THX computer speaker set that included a subwoofer. They were ok but far from great so I felt like I needed to up my game. I kept switching between AudioEngine A5+, Klipsch R15-PM, but both speakers definitely cost a bit more money than I wanted to spend.

Pros
